In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Genesis, which is a command-line tool for creating and managing Cloud Foundry manifests. This tool is highly recommended if you are using Cloud Foundry for your applications. We will be installing Genesis on Ubuntu Server.
Before we proceed with the installation steps, make sure you meet the following requirements:
First, we need to install Git, which is a version control system used for software development.
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
Type the following command to update the package list:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git --version
If you see the version of git installed, then it means the installation was successful.
Genesis requires Ruby to run. By default, Ruby is pre-installed on Ubuntu, but we will install the latest version.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
ruby -v
If you see the Ruby version, then the installation was successful.
Finally, we can install Genesis by following these steps:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/genesis.git
cd genesis
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install
genesis version
If you see the Genesis version, then it means the installation was successful.
Now you have successfully installed Genesis on Ubuntu Server. Genesis is a powerful tool that helps in managing Cloud Foundry manifests. It is highly recommended for users who are working with Cloud Foundry on a regular basis.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
